Introducing Fatebook: the fastest way to make and track predictions
Arun Johnson2y10

I've added the website as a shortcut to my home screen for the last 3 days and that seems to work pretty well! Would be useful to be able to use it when I don't have internet/data though.

An Android app would definitely be valuable to me. I have my phone with me constantly, and my computer is often in another room, or entirely unavailable, so an app is much more available and lower friction.

Books: Lend, Don't Give

Another potential benefit is more encouragement to read the book in a timely manner. When I've been given books in the past I often take a long time to read them, because I know I'll always be able to and it rarely seems urgent. When lent a book, even with no specific timeframe to return it, I feel pressure to either start reading it soon, or acknowledge I'm not going to and return it so someone else can read it.

Is Gas Green?

Apologies for the delayed response, I hadn't seen where the notifications were until now!

We expect to be cost competitive with natural gas in Arizona sometime in late 2024. That area expands to much of the Western US by 2026. We are planning to expand by a more-or-less traditional startup pathway.

We're using a setup with very low capital costs to allow us to scale rapidly as soon as it's profitable.

Have you considered getting rid of death?

I am an undergraduate studying chemical engineering, and I've been intending to dive into learning about biology relevant to aging for about a year and a half, with relatively slow progress. I'd be interested in developing a rough schedule of things to learn about alongside you if you're interested.

I'd recommend checking out Laura Deming's blog, which has a list of things to learn about to get familiar with our current understanding of aging.

I'm working at a startup trying to rapidly scale CO2 --> SNG right now. So if anyone has questions about the technical challenges & limitations, let me know.

I believe it was established earlier in the series that no chain of time turners can send information back more than 6 hours.
